    Now, 16 year olds are children at school. In which case, why not give the vote to 5 year olds?

    I'd be more inclined to take voting rights away from all the over 70 toolbags.

    Why should they be allowed to vote to on things that will impact a future they won't be part of?

    That's quite ironic, I was under the impression that yours were the apron strings that Whorty had tied himself to.

    I do a lot of facebook advertising. I'm just looking at the ad manager and the audience size for 16-18 is 1.9 million. 50-52 is 2.1 million. It's not a big difference.
    Apart from the majority of 16-18 year olds can't vote, whilst 100% of 50-52 can. Adds to younger audience will be for zit cream and johnnies, but for oldies it will be pitch forks and tin hats

    The Cambridge analytica fiasco, exposed how easy it is to manipulate popular opinion via social media. 16 y.o. are way to susceptible to social media influence.

    Also the case is more in letting them vote in a referendum with long lasting effects that would affect their lives long term, skipping a GE at 16 will still allow you to make your voice heard at 20, so not that big of a deal.

    And people tend to get more right wing as they get older.
